Petrol?

Jesus1222 · 2006-10-12 21:09:21

My bike has started to cut out twice recently, exactly like it would if you had no petrol left...even with a full tank. And it wasn't switched to reserve either. After a minute or two of revving the engine it passed and it worked fine again. This has happened on two occassions two weeks apart. I'm not worried, just curious…

It could be durt or a clog in the fuel line or the Air intake. IE: A blocked or damaged Air Filter.

First change Air Filter then Fuel Filter then Spark Plugs. If that doesn't work, simply stop putting diesel in your bike (*joke*)!
